Thanks for noticing this. How about "members that are common to all public key
types"?
You're right about the section numbering. I'll fix that.
Thanks again,

Subject: [jose] x5c, x5u, x5t don't apply to all key types
Section 3 of JWK [1] defines "members that are common to all key types" and
includes among those members x5c, x5u and x5t. However, the x5X parameters are
relevant only for half the key types defined in JWA - they don't really make
sense for "oct" [2] or "PBKDF2" [3].
Not sure the best way to address this but it seems kind of awkward as it is.
Maybe move them into the EC and RSA type definitions (or something common to
both) or somehow add some qualifying text saying that they can only be used
with key types utilizing public keys?
As I was looking up the URLs below I noticed that the section alignment in
section 5 of JWA is a little off. I think 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 should probably be
5.4 and 5.5 respectively. Right now they line up as though they were part of
the RSA key type.
